Oris

This spring, Oris is proud to introduce a stylish rebrand that cements its place in contemporary watchmaking. The company’s new logo, claim and creative have been designed to highlight Oris’s spirit of innovation and independence, qualities that shine through its collection of industrially produced, beautifully crafted Swiss Made watches.

Oris is proud to present the Oris GMT Rega Limited Edition, the second watch made in support of the partnership between the independent Swiss watch company and Rega, the Swiss air-rescue service. The new watch has a second time zone, indicated by a 24-hour central hand, a function chosen in partnership with Rega jet pilots and to represent the worldwide service they offer across all time zones.

Oris’s archive is full of landmark timepieces and iconic designs, but few stir the soul quite like the Chronoris. In 2017, Oris is reintroducing the Chronoris in response to demand from collectors and friends of the brand all over the world.

Australia’s Royal Flying Doctor Service is one of the world’s most iconic aeromedical services. Oris first worked with the non-profit organisation in 2013, and this year the two come together again in a second limited edition watch, the Oris Royal Flying Doctor Service Limited Edition II.

Events of the past don’t change, but our understanding of them can. Until recently, Oris believed that its first pilot’s watch was the Big Crown of 1938, an iconic piece of design named after its oversized crown that still informs the company’s aviation-inspired watches today. But a recent discovery made it clear history had a different story to tell.

What is the most important function in a diver’s watch? The instinctive answer might be water resistance, and there’s no doubt that’s vital. But assuming a diver’s watch can withstand the pressures found deep underwater, what becomes most important is the watch’s ability to relay accurately and clearly the remaining dive time.

The world’s coral reefs face a grave threat. According to reports, one quarter of these delicate ecosystems have already been damaged beyond repair through bleaching, overfishing and careless tourism, with two-thirds of what remains under further threat.

With more than a century of innovation and expertise to its name, Oris continues to write its history and introduces the Oris Artelier Calibre 113. At its heart beats a new mechanical movement that was fully developed in-house by the brand's Centre of Excellence, already behind Calibres 110, 111 and 112.

At Baselworld 2017, Oris will continue its proud watchmaking tradition by officially unveiling Artelier Calibre 113, the fourth in the company’s series of highly innovative, high-functioning watches powered by in-house developed movements.

With more than a century of innovation and expertise to its name, Oris continues to write its history and introduces the Oris Artelier Calibre 113. At its heart beats a new mechanical movement that was fully developed in-house by the brand's Centre of Excellence, already behind Calibres 110, 111 and 112.

Oris adds a third variation to its portfolio of in-house movements. The new Calibre 112 extends the brand's offering and lends its name to this latest timepiece in the Artelier collection, designed with global travellers in mind.

Bronze makes a noteworthy entrance into the Oris collection with this commemorative model paying tribute to Carl Brashear, the U.S. Navy’s first African American master diver. Previously little used in watchmaking, this metal is notably distinguished by its oxidation giving it a unique patina.

Oris takes us to the island of Mallorca for the Oris Rallye Clásico, of which it is the title sponsor. For the latest edition of this classic car rally, the brand unveils a chronograph which is inspired by the dashboard instruments of the 1960s and 70s sports cars taking part.

More than 75 years after Oris made its first pilot’s watch, the company is proud to announce the launch of the most innovative pilot’s watch in its history – the Oris Big Crown ProPilot Altimeter, the world’s first automatic mechanical watch with a mechanical altimeter.

This year's rally, which took place from 14-16 March, just finished with a new record in participating cars. It also marks a return to the prestigious Puerto Portals, a glamorous marina with the perfect combination of sporting excellence and entertainment. The rally circuit itself takes in the stunning scenery of the local area, with winding roads and hairpin corners hemmed in by rugged cliff tops and beautiful ocean views.

2010 marked a historic milestone for the Oris Big Crown Air Racing Team, as it saw them competing at the legendary Reno Air Races in Nevada, USA, for the very first time. Team pilot Don Vito Wyprächtiger was the first ever Swiss man to qualify for this prestigious event and placed 2nd in the Formula Gold Race at his first attempt. To honour this great achievement, Oris have created a special BC3 watch limited to 1000 pieces.

In 1994, Switzerland’s iconic “Patrouille Suisse” (PS) Hunter planes were withdrawn from the Swiss Air Force to the dismay of their many avid supporters worldwide. Since then, many military aviation enthusiasts have campaigned to “Save the Patrouille Suisse-Hunter”. The campaign is lead by the Swiss Hunter Team, the Patrouille Suisse fan club, the Oris watch factory and all those who have a passion for vintage aircrafts. In support of the campaign, Oris has developed three Oris Swiss Hunter Team PS Edition watches, and will financially support the Swiss Hunter Team to maintain the Patrouille Suisse Hunter plane.

Carlos Coste has created a new Guinness world record for freediving, after swimming 150 metres through a cave using no apparatus. The Venezuelan was armed with only a torch and a monofin - a single giant flipper worn on both feet - when he made the death-defying dive. The 34-year-old soared through a passage inside Dos Ojos, a colossal cave network that twists for 31 miles under Yucatan, Mexico.

From 15th – 19th September this year Oris is taking part in the world famous Reno Air Race in Nevada, USA with its team 'Oris Big Crown Air Racing'.

He qualified for the event by attending a Rookie Camp, which he passed with flying colours. After seeing his performance the organisers gave him the go-ahead to take part in this year’s race.

In February this year, Oris celebrated 10 years of our famous BC3 aviation collection by announcing the launch of the Oris BC3 Sportsman, the first watch from the redesigned BC3 collection for 2010.

Oris’ track record in producing limited edition watches is almost as distinguished as the track record of the man to whom Oris dedicates its latest jazz watch: Oscar Peterson.

Excited by the Type 997 Porsche cars driven in competition by Darryl O’Young, the PCCA Double Class A Champion, Oris has designed two watches with a cool, sporty and technical look. Each model is limited to 997 units – a nod to the Type 997 Porsches.

Developing a new watch is always a huge challenge, with many factors to take into consideration. When the watch is the first of its kind – an innovation – even more time and effort must be invested in design and testing. The Oris ProDiver Chronograph is an innovation.

Oris Product Development Manager Ralf Hilbich recently experienced one of the proudest moments of his career.

It’s best to fly around thunder storms – and the new Oris Big Crown Telemeter makes that even easier.

On December 11th 2008 the new RUF CTR3 watch by Oris was presented in Pfaffenhausen in Allgaeu, where the producer of vehicles RUF is based.

With his pouched cheeks, he drew adventurous sound sequences from his bent horn: trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie, gifted improviser and clownish showman, belongs to the most famous personalities of jazz.

His face appeared on the old ten Swiss Frank note, adorns a special stamp, and now also sets a watch apart: Oris is launching the Leonhard Euler jubilee watch to commemorate the 300th anniver-sary of the birth of the great Swiss mathematician.
